be around paint without
painting something.
Sunday evening I remembered
a third of a gallon of
white paint left over
from two projects this year.
That's all it took . . .
just that thought
and I ran to the computer
and ordered new knobs & handles
for the kitchen cupboards.
Then Monday morning I got that
paint out of storage and started
painting the kitchen cupboards.
Well, here's the mess that
This is what it looked
like when we bought
the house.
It always amazes me,
what just a coat of paint
can do.
The knobs and handles
costed me around $65.00
and the paint was left over.
So . . . I would say,
"Not bad for a cheap make-over"
π³π³π³π³π³
Have a great week!
God Loves You!

Your blogging sister,
Connie :)
Well done Connie- a great make over- the Kitchen looks absolutely great. Best Wishes. KEV.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteLooks amazing Connie - love it all, love the new handles & that curtain under the sink - ADORE! I am one who loves to paint things too - its a good addiction !! ππ€
ReplyDeleteA little paint can have a big decorating punch and at a small price. How can we not get excited when we are in possession of a can of paint and a brush, LOL
DeleteIt looks really nice! That was a very reasonable kitchen make over!
ReplyDeleteI thought so too. I found that ordering knobs and handles on Amazon is sometimes half or even less than that of going to a home improvement store.
DeleteYou have impeccable taste Connie. I really like all of the variations of your kitchen. The fabrics for under the sink are perfect for each version.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,
Betsy
You are sooooooooooooo sweet :)
DeleteI can never get over how you tackle any DIY project and you do a great job every time. This kitchen make-over is no exception. You've done it againπ.
ReplyDeleteI'm addicted to paint, LOL
DeleteI absolutely love it. It looks like a professional job. I like all the different colors but I think I like this best of all. It's so bright and clean looking.
ReplyDeleteI have my kitchen chairs outside right now, drying in the sun. They were blue, but now there white as well.
DeleteWell done Connie, it looks bright and fresh now. You are a busy bee!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think that I'm afraid to not be busy. It may not be such a good thing, but I do get a lot done :)
DeleteIt looks wonderful, Connie! xoPom Pom
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteGreat work Connie. Your kitchen looks so clean and fresh with its new paint :) xx
ReplyDeleteIt's funny because way back in the 60's I had a landlady that had an all white kitchen and I fell head over heals in love with it. Yet, it has taken me this long to paint mine white.
DeleteYou are so amazing with all the projects you do, well done on such a great make over.
ReplyDeleteThank you, you're very kind :)
DeleteSometimes, that's all it takes, is a bit of paint to make us smile!,,
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the truth . . . I have a real passion for paint :)
DeleteConnie, you beat all! An idea pops into your head and you immediately get it done. I usually dread starting and put things off. Your kitchen looks so pretty. I love it. Your house is always so neat and clean.
ReplyDeleteYou're very kind, I think sometimes I don't give an idea time to marinate . . . I just jump in whole hog an "Get R Done".
DeleteConnie it looks great! You amaze me! I wish you could come and paint my kitchen cupboards! They are an ugly green. I do not like to paint! I have lots of cans of paint and they just sit there! For some reason, it is very intimidating to me and the cleanup is worse than the actual painting job! (to me anyway!). If I could just throw everything away afterwards (like the brushes and pan, etc.) I would maybe tend to do it. The green cupboards are on my "to do" list, which may never get done! Your kitchen... I remember the many colors and loved each one! I always love a white kitchen though.. it's so clean and bright and crisp. The knobs are so pretty too and I would probably agonize over which ones to get! I have a hard time making decisions.... love to you on this beautiful Friday! I just stopped by to see if you had posted.. and you did! Hugs.. Marilyn
ReplyDeleteI do have things that I procrastinate about, but painting is usually not one of them, unless it means climbing high on a ladder. Ladders do scare me. Thanks for stopping by, I'd like to encourage you to just get started. Maybe pick something like white for the top and only do that much. Then you can take a break and spend some time thinking about a bottom color. You might even like the green better if it were only the bottom cabinets. Just a thought.
DeleteLove your energy and determination. Your white kitchen is bright and pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks on both counts :)
DeleteIt looks wonderful. I am in a condo community now and a friend and I are getting set to paint the kitchen cabinets in there. They are 'leftovers' from the 70s or 80s and desperately need doing. White paint here we come! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteWish I was there to help, sounds like fun :)
DeleteI love the white, so fresh and clean, I did really like the gray too. The knobs look great on them too!
ReplyDeleteThanks. The white really makes my kitchen look brighter; I need that since I only have one small window over the sink.
DeleteIt looks very nice! I did the same with my kitchen some years ago
ReplyDeleteFresh paint is a wonderful thing.
DeleteLove the white cabinets and new knobs and handles. Looks like quite the professional job! And your kitchen looks so fresh and "new". I just now saw your comment on my (old) blog post about my hardwood floors. You are right - they're not the newer laminate that's out there. They're Bruce hardwood (which is engineered hardwood). The darker flooring in my kitchen is about 23 years old and the lighter flooring in the living room, hallway and bedrooms is about 15 years old. It holds up very well!
ReplyDeleteI'm always attracted to beautiful floors and yours are gorgeous. You take great care of them. You can tell when a home is loved . . . It's the difference between a house and a home π
DeleteGirl, I just can't understand how you can stretch paint that far! LoL It would take me an entire gallon and probably more. Your kitchen is beautiful and fresh looking!
ReplyDeleteGrace & Peace,
Pam
Thank you :)
DeleteWhat a great transformation.
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteYour kitchen feels great! I love what you have done all over your home with white paint!
ReplyDeleteI love the yellow version and the white version best of all!
